" This place is pure magic! From the colorful decorations to the delicious meals! I had the carne asada with a side of elote and everything was perfect. The salsa was on point, adding a good punch to the flavors. I've yet to find a better taqueria around. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about this place, I finally made a trip to El Picosito. I went for breakfast and had the chilaquiles with green salsa. Wow, they manage to strike a wonderful balance with the salsa – a bit spicy but not overwhelming, allowing you to enjoy the actual dish. The portion was generous, definitely worth the price. The only downside was the cash-only policy; I had to make a quick trip to the ATM. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try out Taqueria El Picosito for our taco night and it was a blast! The atmosphere was buzzing and fun, with colorful decorations and lively music. I ordered the tacos de lengua, and they were simply out of this world! The corn tortillas were fresh, and the lengua was cooked to perfection. We tried several salsas, and I particularly loved the spicy verde! My friend had the nachos which were piled high and delicious as well. Great for group outings, I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a somewhat disappointing experience. While the nachos were tasty, I found the mains somewhat lacking in flavor. The shrimp tacos I ordered were bland. Service was friendly but a bit slow, and I didn't feel the ambiance was as welcoming as I expected. I may give it another try, but probably not soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Taqueria El Picosito while exploring Covina, and it has quickly become a go-to for me. The first dish I tried was the pozole, and it was some of the best I've ever had—rich and full of flavors. The owners are so welcoming, which adds to the charm. I can't wait to return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos here are second to none! Authentic flavors and generous portions make every meal delightful. The staff is always smiling and ready to help. I love bringing my family here for special occasions, and the kids enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend for any taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Good tacos but the service can be hit or miss. The ambiance is nice, but I feel they could work on the staff’s attitude. I noticed one of the workers seemed uninterested in helping. On the positive side, the tacos de papa I ordered were delicious and could definitely taste the authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
